Services we provide

The team works closely with young people and their families, offering group and individual programs with a strong focus on self-management as well as coaching and mentoring for parents to help support young people through treatment.

At least one parent or guardian is expected to actively participate in their child’s treatment program.

When a young person has completed their main treatment program, Telehealth follow up and maintenance sessions can be provided for regional families to minimise the need to travel to the hospital.

Referrals

Children and adolescents may be referred to the Complex Pain Service by their treating doctor at PCH. GP's cannot directly refer to the service but can refer to a department within PCH. When our medical team is satisfied that serious diseases are being treated or have been ruled out as an underlying cause of your child’s pain, they will refer your child to the Complex Pain Service.
